An amplification device, also called a personal sound amplifier, says its purpose in the name—this device amplifies the sound to louder levels. Now, if you have been struggling to hear, this can sound ideal. However, don’t be fooled by flashy commercials and ads making over-the-top promises. A personal sound amplifier is meant to be used by someone with normal hearing. As this device amplifies all sounds equally, someone with hearing loss would hear the clink of forks on plates as loudly as the conversation they are trying to have during the meal. Instead, someone with healthy hearing would use these devices when they want to capture quiet sounds, such as a trail runner alone on a lonely trail or a parent trying to watch TV while their children are taking a nap. Overall, an amplification device has limited utility.
